The preview accepts one PNG, JPEG, or WebP file up to 4 MiB; other source formats must be exported or converted to one of those formats first. Editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access. Review the exported SVG in the appropriate downstream software; non-SVG formats and machine instructions require separate conversion.

Sketch-to-SVG conversion works by tracing the lines and shapes in the sketch into mathematically defined vector paths. The quality of the SVG depends on the clarity of the sketch lines — high contrast, clean ink lines produce the best results.
From a physical sketch: 1. Scan at 600 DPI or photograph with even lighting. 2. In Photoshop or GIMP: adjust Levels to darken lines and lighten the background. Apply Threshold if going to single-color (line art) output. 3. Save as PNG. 4. The protected preview is available without an account; editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access.
From Procreate: File > Share > SVG (if the layer has vector-compatible content) or share as PNG and vectorize. For Procreate brush strokes, the PNG + vectorize workflow often gives better results than the built-in SVG export.
From Adobe Fresco: export as PNG from the app, then vectorize.
For Cricut Design Space: import the SVG directly. The traced sketch lines become cut paths. Use the Contour tool to remove any unwanted interior paths from the tracing.
For tattoo reference: scale the SVG to the planned tattoo dimensions and print on trace paper for the appointment consultation.
